4.3.9.6  Form DC link   (P052 = 20) 
 
DANGER 
 
The "Form DC link" function  may only be implemented if the 
rectifier/regenerating unit  and the converter(s) connected have the 
same voltage class (9th digit position of the MLFB). 
 
If the converters have been left to stand idle for more than a year, the DC link capacitors must be re-formed. If 
the converters are taken into service within a year of being delivered (factory number, rating plate); it is not 
necessary to re-form the DC link capacitors. For more details on this subject, please refer to Section 4.3.12 of 
the converter's operating instructions 
 
The DC link capacitors are formed as described below. 
 
The "Form DC link" function can be selected in the "Ready to switch on" status (009). 
 
Procedure:
 
⇓  P408  Set the forming time (1.0 to 600.0 minutes; see Section 4.3.12 of the 
converter's operating instructions 
 
⇓  P052 = 20  Select the "Form DC link" function" 
 
⇓  P key  The operating display appears: 
The rectifier/regenerating unit must be switched on within 20 s, otherwise 
message F091 (fault value 4) appears. 
 
⇓  Switch on the rectifier/regenerating unit 
 
NOTE 
The firing pulses are enabled, the rectifier/regenerating unit carries current and the DC link is charged! 
During the forming procedure, the connected SIMOVERT Master Drives FC, VC, SC must not be switched on.
 
⇓  Forming of the DC link takes place (duration as set with P406): 
While the forming time P408 is running, the control angle is reduced linearly from 120 degrees 
to 30 degrees and the DC link capacitor is charged up to the peak value of rectifier supply 
voltage. 
If DC link voltage reduction is selected (control word 1 bit 11, P571), the forming procedure will 
be completed on reaching a DC link voltage of P318 * rectifier network peak value. 
During the forming procedure, the current limit set at P160 is not
 effective. 
 
⇓  When this function has been completed, the "Ready to switch on" display (009) appears.
